Why consider this model?

  • A documented option for hikers who want folding sections, a separately adjustable SpeedLock Plus lever, a cork-surfaced grip, and trekking plus 70 mm tour/snow baskets included. The compact plan reaches 120 cm; the standard plan reaches 130 cm, and both are listed at 41 cm packed.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The 41 cm packed size is not short enough for a 35 or 40 cm ceiling, and the compact plan cannot reach 125 or 130 cm. The source lists per-pole weights of 257 g and 277 g but does not directly map each number to an individual SKU in that row. Confirm the exact size SKU, instructions and basket package before purchase.
